Kriti Sanon’s sister Nupur Sanon recently tied the knot with long-time boyfriend Stebin Ben in a lavish wedding in Udaipur, followed by a star-studded reception in Mumbai. While the bride dazzled in a maroon off-shoulder structured corset gown by Manish Malhotra, attention unexpectedly shifted to Stebin’s sister, Steby Ben, who wore a similar outfit to the bride at the reception.

The resemblance sparked online backlash, with trolls accusing Steby of “ruining” Nupur’s moment. Comments ranged from “Kya jarurat thi same outfit pehanne ki?” (What was the point of wearing the same outfit?) to “Ye obsession nahi, jealousy kehlati hai” (This isn’t obsession, it’s called jealousy). Fans debated whether the choice was harmless or inappropriate, making Steby the unintended centre of controversy.

Despite the trolling, Kriti Sanon, who played the perfect hostess, shared heartfelt unseen pictures of the newlyweds on social media. She welcomed Stebin into the family with an emotional post, expressing joy at seeing Nupur, “the prettiest bride”, and recalling the bond she has shared with Stebin over the past five years.

Industry sources note that Nupur and Stebin’s relationship began professionally in the music video industry, where frequent collaborations allowed their on-screen chemistry to blossom into a personal bond. The couple’s wedding celebrations reflect both their personal and professional journey together, drawing attention from celebrities, including Salman Khan, at the reception.

While social media debates continue over Steby Ben’s outfit choice, the Sanon family’s heartfelt tributes and star-studded celebrations underscore the joy of the newlyweds’ milestone.
